smugglers Neatly Trapped At Boston

SnUSS1eFs NeatAy trapped Al B0SLOn.
 BOSTON, May 9.-One of the most impor- tant seizures made by Boston customs in spectors for many years occurred to-day and the schooner Rebecca R. Nickerson of Prov incetown, which carried the contraband goods, is the vessel implicated. Captain Arthur W. Tstner of Boothbay, Me, is un- der arrest on the charge presumably of smuggling. Two boxes and two trunks filled with six thousand cigars and Jamaica is a fruiter of about ITO tons and left Bara- coa April with cargo of fruit and on the homeward passage stopped at Charleston. From there she went to Wilmington, N. O., and took load of tar for Plymouth Mass, from which latter port she sailed for Boston. At the same wharf where she tied up was the coaster Mary J. Elliott of Boothbay. According to the captain of the latter Cap tain Tatner came to him with 8 request that on his return trip to Boothbay he carry lot of dunnage for delivery at the latter port. The captain of the Elliott received the alleg- ed dunnage, but the transfer was seen by Inspector Kingsley and the vessel boarded. Tatner was questioned closely and confessed that the dunnage consisted of cigars, rum and wine. The Elliott was then hauled back to her wharf and the goods confscated. No blame is attached to the captain of the Eli ott. The penalty for the crime is a forfeit of the goods, a fine of twice their value and 9 possible forfeiture of the vessel which is owned in Boothbay, Provincetown, Boston and Lowell.

A Ease RaI Canard.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9.-Lew Simmons, one of the three proprietors of the Athletic base ball club, today emphatieally denied the statements contained in an article pub lished here and in other cities this morning stating that the proprietors were negoti- ating for the sale of the club to syndicate. The article, he said, was malicious lie from beginning to end. Another story which MT. Simmons wished to brand as untrue was one that secret conference was held in Brook lyn at which details were arranged for the transfer of the Indianapolis club to the American association and the Cincinnati club to the league and the sale of the Ath- letic and Metropolitan clubs.

'sThe Pen and the Pulpit" Discussed.
 The Congregational club discussed the 4Pen and Pulpit" in Center church chapel last evening. The meeting was largely at tended by ministers and clergy of the city and out of town and very profitable even- ing was spent in talking over the above sub- ject. Many useful hints and suggestions cropped out during the discussion. Dr. Car rington and Superintendent Dutton made the opening addresses. Among the many speakers were MT. Moseley, Messrs. A. H. Curtiss of Meriden, John G. North, s. H. Moseley, Professor Baldwin, MT. Rowland, T. W. T. Curtis, Professor Ensign of Trinity NJ. E. church, Rev. Mir. Calhoun of Milford, Rev. MT. Rice, Rev.

A REPUBLICAN WARREN

Birmingham's Borough Election Yes terday-A Resume of the Situation The Result of the VOting-An Impor- tant Borough Election.
 BIRMINGHAM, May 9.-To-day the free men of Birmingham determined on their borough officers for another year. It is not every spring that the public pulse beats rap idly on such an election. In fact there is little excitement felt, particularly among the Republicans, who are in a minority. The Democrats cross swords in the caucus and are sure of election if the ropes for nomi- nation are dexterously handled. This year the situation has been strangely interesting The bone of contention is the wardenship, the office of burgess being non-lucrative sinecure. It was safely predicted on the de- claration of the retiring incumbent of the mayoralty that his name would not appear to head another ticket, and the many friends of George s. Arnold were assured of the latter's successful candidacy (although Republican, when McManus was no longer his foe At the Democratic caucus the naMe of McManus was again perched on the Democratic gon- falon and ticket running as follows adopted:
 DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
 For warden Patrick McManus.
 For burgesses- J.. O'Sullivan, Edward n. E,E
 For baif-John W Nolan.
 For treasurer-Charles H. Coe.
 For assessors-John J. Leonard, Robert May.
 None of the burgess candidates have had any experience-two of them conduct sa- loon for livelihood, one is doctor, the fourth is a superintendent in the Bassett iron foundry and earnest for the good of the public school in this district. The peculiar ombination or surprise was the consent of McManus to run after the presumably honest desire on his part, as put in language, to quit the field. McManus had never objected to place among the aldermen and the Re. publieans were quite willing to accord him their support there. The pressure of friends, it appears, was so vigorous that the honor was not declined, and when the polls opened the ballot was spread with the ticket as above given and the following or citizens ticket to beat it if possible:
 For Warden-George S. Arnold. Baldwin, Amon B. Glover, Charles N Downs.
 For Assessors-Sdney A. Downs, John J. Leon ard, Robert May.
 For Bailiff-John W. Nolan.
 For Treasurer-Charles H. Coe.
 The result of the four hours voting was the triumph of the straight Republican tick ct. Arnold for warden received 22O votes; McManus, Democrat, got 174. The following are the elected burgesses, the first four being Phillips 207 votes, Baldwin I'll, Glover 205, Downs 175, and OSullivan 1S2, Condon 1855, Houlihan 19S.
 These newly-chosen officials will probably board this Friday eve. At this session borough clerk, collector and chief of police are to be chosen, as well as the va- rious committees on sewers, streets, fire and police departments and nuisances.

BUNNELLS GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 "A Cold Day, or the Laplanders," which was produced yesterday at Bunnell's, is one of those roaring farces where slender plot serves as a basis for some very fair singing and ridiculous situations. It gives wide spread opportunities for the introduction of specialties, and so far we judge by yesterdays performances it is likely to keep it's audiences in a constant roar of laughter wherever it is performed. Frank M. Willis and the competent artists engaged in his support went through the performance with much vigor and skill. In the museum hall are some excellent attractions.
 HYPERION HEATER.
 Edwin Booth will appear at the Hyperion tomorrow evening supported by strong company and will present "Richelieu." An exchange says: "In MT. Booths 'Richelieu' the art of acting is exhibited in all it's per- lection and with a near approach to it's grandest possibilities. To pronounce his impersonation a 1awless gem is but the ob- vious duty and plain justice of criticism. MT. Booth seems at his best this season. His step is light and quick, his action animated and his voice fresh and resonant as in earlier years and he seems to have cast away since last year the burden of decade. His sup port was excellent, MT. John Lane giving 8 uduiy EluS lO G!lo 1lHSS Ol D6 hdu aHO Emma Vaders acting Julie gracefully and with delicate reserve" Mr. Booth invests the curse scene with terrible grandeur His eyes flash, his whole being seems to struggle against hls failing strength for the fnal blow. and his trembling voice grows steady and distinct in it's emphasis he towers above the covering Baradas.
 HEARTS AND HOMES.
 At the New Haven Opera House on Thurs day night will be produced for the first time in this city new play with the above title, written by James Connor Roach, author of numerous successes Tn this and the old country "Homes and Hearts" is said to be the most ambitious of all MT. Roachs work, replete with wit and pathos. The play was accepted by MT. Denman Thompson with the understanding that it should be played in New York during the present season. The long run of the "Old Homestead" in that city precluded the possibility of presenta- tion this year and it again became the prop erty of the author. The play will be pre- sented with a most excellent cast comprising several superior artists from the metropolitan theaters.
